Utterly and Irrevocably Fool

Jiang Mian's eyes were trained on some photos laid in front of her.

She did not blink. As if she just suffered massive brain damage. Then Li Qiang's words hit her.

She... She is staring at a photo of a burnt person. Too burnt to be recognized.

And Li Qiang just told her this was her mother.

"Are you telling the truth?" She asked as tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Li Qiang nodded. "I asked someone to track her whereabouts since I was not able to contact her. Then I found this in an abandoned building just outside the town."

"We also found her belongings just outside the building. Like her pursed but sadly her phone is nowhere to be found."

"My guess is it was already destroyed by the culprit."

"Wh..who cou..could have killed her?" She sobbed. Li Qiang called her just after Jiang Chanming was arrested and told her he knew about Lu Shi's whereabouts.

Jiang Mian did not expect this at all.

She thought her mother just went to her maternal grandmother. Who would have thought that...

"I tracked her phone and saw that she received a call from Jiang Yue just before she went missing." Li Qiang answered solemnly.

"Jiang Yue? That woman? I... Why would she do this?!" Jiang Yue is also a woman. How could she do something as... as brutal as this?

Even if Lu Shi schemed against her time after time, Jiang Yue would not have the courage to do something like this. Right?

"Who knows? She seems to have ties in the military. Who knows if she also knows someone from the underworld?" Li Qiang hinted.

"She... Why would she do this?"

"Last time I checked your mother always schemed against her maybe..."

While Li Qiang is speaking, Jiang Mian is already lost in her own world.

Jiang Yue might look harmless and fragile, but she could never forget how she threatened to dissolve her body just the other night.

The murderous aura that Jiang Yue emitted is something that cannot be faked.

She also remembered Jiang Yue telling her that she is letting her go because she is young...

Then does that mean that she did not forgive Lu Shi because she thought that her mother had no opportunity to change?

Unlike the young Jiang Mian?

Jiang Mian's pupils dilated as the realization hit her.

"I WILL KILL THAT MURDERER! I WILL..." She fumed as she abruptly gets up.

However, before Jiang Mian could take a step away from the table, Li Qiang already stopped her.

"Calm down. You need to think rationally." He said. "Jiang Yue is not just someone that you can touch just because you wanted to."

"She has the Wangs behind her. And now the backing of the Young Master of the Fu Family." He added. Just like he guessed. Jiang Mian immediately believed him.

"LET GO OF ME. I WILL KILL HER. I WILL BURN HER ALIVE!" Jiang Mian raged. Her eyes bulging from too much anger.

"Do you want to die as well?" Li Qiang statement seemed to have an effect on the angry Jiang Mian.

"She is ruthless enough to do this to your mother. What made you think that she will not do the same thing to you?"

"I..." She slumped back into her seat and held her head while crying. Grief and anger are weighing down on her heart.

Li Qiang is right. She is completely useless compared to Jiang Yue.

She does not have the backer and the ability to contest against her.

Jiang Yue is too cunning and ruthless. Unlike her and her pitiful mother.

"So... So what can I do? I can't just let my mother's death go to waste. May...Maybe the police can help me."

Li Qiang's face immediately cracked while listening to Jiang Mian.

Just how stupid is this woman?

"No. You can't go to the police. Just look at what they did to your father. Only you can make that woman pay." He said while trying to mask the ridicule in his voice.

"Wh..what do you mean?" She inquired.

"Defeat her. Take everything that she has. Make her suffer before you pull the trigger."

"I don't understand."

"I will give you an opportunity abroad. Come back here when you feel like you can already one step ahead of her."

She stared at her true father as she furrowed her brows in contemplation.

Right now, Jiang Chanming is already finished. He can no longer help her.

While the man in front of her is someone that she barely even knew, she still can't deny the fact that he is her true father.

He should be sincere in helping her, right?

"Okay. I understand. I will do as you please." She nodded. Agreeing to Li Qiang's proposition does not give her any sort of disadvantages.

Jiang Mian would agree. She really is useless against Jiang Yue right now.

She looked at the burnt photo of her mother as a flash of determination can be seen in her eyes. She will do everything she can to destroy Jiang Yue.

Seeing her determined look, Li Qiang laughed inwardly. This Jiang Mian is just like her mother, an epitome of a fool woman.

Utterly and irrevocably fool!
